@sally12345 I have bipolar illness and type 2 diabetes but also suffer from two addiction problems. First off, I smoke too many cigarettes a day (20). Secondly, I am developing an addiction to "meth." Because I have COPD, I can't smoke weed... it makes me cough my lungs out like crazy. But "meth" is a nicer high with fewer side effects. Worst of all, being a senior, I have a huge pension from the government... so I can afford it, for now... until I get addicted to something stronger? I must admit that because of all the meds I take for my mental health and my diabetes, it takes something stronger to get me high enough to enjoy it. At least I realize I can't drink alcohol considering all the medications I take. Pray for me please. I do believe that prayer DOES work too.
